In 2019, Seiko introduced the redesign of its original Seiko 5 Sport from 1968. This year, in celebration of the collection’s 55th anniversary, three new 42.5mm creations in SKX Sports Style pay homage to its origins by referencing the colours of three popular historical watches. In addition, there is a 39.5mm re-creation limited edition (pictured), which is true to the very first model in just about every detail, featuring the vintage logo, day-date display, and recessed crown, but is updated with a new bracelet and water resistance to 100m. Models are powered by the robust Caliber 4R36 automatic movement. An excellent value proposition, the SRPK17 limited edition will retail for under R10 000 when it hits stores in September.
